Recreational cyclonic burner

A cyclonic burner suitably configured for use in either a properly vented indoor or outdoor recreational environment, said cyclonic burner comprising, in combination:

• an external housing member having a bottom grate and an upwardly extending wall fixedly attached to said bottom grate and extending upwardly therefrom and terminating at an upper ledge, said upwardly extending wall comprising a plurality of air inlet ports tangentially positioned in a linear-like manner therewithin to principally serve as an effective air passageway;
• a top cover fixedly attached to said upper ledge forming and defining an internal combustion chamber suitably configured to receive a combustible fuel, said top cover comprising a centralized opening having a tapered wall at the periphery thereof, said tapered wall comprising upper and lower portions, said lower portion being located more radially inward than said upper portion to purposefully control the extent to which an ascending cyclonic flame disperses upon exiting said centralized opening;
• and
• an combustion air plenum chamber having an external blower motor for supplying air into said combustion air plenum chamber and forcibly moving air therefrom into said internal combustion chamber for combustion of fuel, said combustion air plenum chamber further comprising an outer port plate having an aperture extending therethrough for passage of air needed for combustion of fuels and an adjustable damper slidably positioned within in a geometrically equivalent slot formed between said combustion air plenum chamber and said outer port plate, said adjustable damper principally serving to control the amount of air into said internal combustion chamber.

A plurality of cyclonic burners collectively arranged to generate high volumetric heat releases for use in an industrial application, said cyclonic burners comprising, in combination:

• a steel shell comprising an insulating material having a plurality of internal combustion chambers formed therein and configured in series, each of said internal combustion chambers comprising a centralized opening extending through said steel shell, said centralized opening comprising a tapered wall having upper and lower portions, said lower portion being located more radially inward than said upper portion insofar to control the extent to which an ascending cyclonic flame disperses as it exits each of said centralized openings;
• a plurality of air inlet ports tangentially positioned within said insulating material at each of said internal combustion chambers, said air inlet ports being hydraulically connected with one another to serve as an air passageway for combustion of fuels residing in each of said internal combustion chambers;
• a main air supply duct extending lengthwise about said steel shell and having a plurality of upwardly extending ducts in hydraulic communication with each of said air inlet ports;
• and
• a combustion air plenum chamber having an external blower motor operably attached thereto for supplying air into said main air supply duct and forcibly moving air therefrom into each of said internal combustion chambers via air inlet ports to promote and sustain combustion of fuels contained therewithin, said combustion air plenum chamber further comprising an outer port plate having an aperture extending therethrough for passage of air needed for combustion of fuels and an adjustable damper slidably positioned within in a geometrically equivalent slot formed between said combustion air plenum chamber and said outer port plate, said adjustable damper principally serving to control the amount of air into said main air supply duct.
